I roughly followed that back in the day and I think there isn’t much to these claims. He seems to sometimes have a bad taste and is a bit naive in some regards. But that’s not being a Nazi. And it’s been 7 or 8 years and he seems to have learned from that, or was there any more controversy? I don’t follow him, nor have I watched any videos for some time. And this video also doesn’t convince me to watch his content…

Edit: And I don’t want to apologize that behaviour. He definitely did these bad “jokes”, I just think he genuinely thought it was funny and he was some sort of clown. But that makes him an idiot, and not a nazi.

I’d like to interject for a moment. What you’re doing is downvoting a comment, in which someone seems to do the right thing for once. I’d say upvotes are in order. Disregarding any previous history.

Plus, can we please have some different drama tomorrow? I think it’s a bit boring to always talk about the same person over and over again as if there wasn’t any other lore or drama to be had on the Fediverse.

From what I know, I assume yes, the relation between model size and speed/performance should be linear. Maybe there is some additional small overhead making it a bit faster or slower than expected. But I’m really not an expert on the maths, so don’t trust me.

And maybe have a look at this bugreport: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/11332
I think it matches your situation. They resolve this by messing with the batch size and someone recommends not to use Vulkan on an iGPU.

Small update: I didn’t get any reaction (so far). The post in their about community has zero votes or interactions. I’ve then escalated things and filed a bug report on the bot’s project page. Also with no reply in the last 3 days. So I guess either they’re busy with other stuff and their “bridge” bot is practically unsupervised… Or they don’t care… So I’d say your gut feeling was correct. I’ll give them some more time, 9 or 3 days isn’t a lot for a hobby side-project… But I think at some point, Fediverse admins might want to think about de-federating and effectively shunning them, if it turns out that instance is effectively unmoderated and pulls in problematic content, and isn’t even liked by a good part of the user base here.

Kind of a bummer to be honest. But the whole place looks abandoned. The instance hasn’t seen updates in more than a year. There aren’t any posts by a human for a year. Their posts don’t really get interacted with… And there are deletions in their modlog, but always with quite some time in between.

I’m just unsure why this is surfacing now. I had that feature available in LineageOS for the better part of a decade. And similarly, it’s also been part of other manufacturer’s customizations for quite some time now (like Samsung).

Why is Google suddenly messing with charging on a regular basis? First the strange situation with the 4a, then whatever preceeded this, and now this…?

Two things to consider:

• It’s likely illegal to take other people’s content and re-publish it on your own terms
• Peertube admins have to pay for storage. So don’t dump random noise there. It has to be useful / worth it. Especially if you make someone else pay for the server space.

I’m not sure if it’s helpful to add my perspective as someone who isn’t part of the queer community… But I frequently find myself able to relate and accept those things. It also took me the better part of my teenage years and quite some time after that to find out who I am, and who I want to be. That wasn’t super straightforward and I suppose almost everyone does this. And people come up with their own and individual takes on life all the time. So it came to little surprise to me that some people came up with different answers than me. I’m not sure what the official teachings say, I’m probably wrong here. But I think I’m basically the same thing as a queer individual. We all have needs and wants and feelings, and we all have to find a way to live our lives and maybe a happy one. The one big monumental difference is, you’re bound to experience the backlash once you don’t take the well-trodden path, act out in some form, or fail to blend in due to either refusal or just being unable to do so. That makes me think I have zero issues accepting and understanding the basic need for dealing with being a human. Of course it’s yet another story how to deal with it, and to learn about the intricate details about someone else, their specific situation, and then actually get it right. And even changing something fundamental isn’t a foreign concept to me. I also develop and change constantly.

And language is kind of an agreement, and a tool. It changes all the time and we can shape it. Communication isn’t easy. But I think language is fun. I like to experiment with it, use it for silly puns, apply it in an unconventional way or make it shine. I don’t think that’s the main point. It serves as a tool to convey something. And whether you accept your counterpart in a conversation is always in there, there is no way around that. So it kind of boils down to that. Whether you want to use language to express acceptance, or dismissal. It’s down to what words you choose and how you apply them. And communication is about transferring something from one brain into another. So the words in itself aren’t the main thing. It’s what you invoke in the mind of someone else. And that’s why I think it has a lot to do with the speaker and less so with the receiver of the words. You’re bound to invoke something in someone else with your words, and you got to choose the ones that match what you want to do. And you have to look at the receiver of your words to find out what will manifest in their mind. That’s not easy, but I’d argue it’s included in the job of speaking to someone.

(Maybe someone wants to lecture me on my take on the relationship of people within the queer community and me. And whether that’s “basically the same thing”. Because I think I have a good point, but that’s certainly been discussed already. And it feels a bit dismissive to say it this way. But then, no-one knows what it took me to become who I am, or how I fit into society. I’m certainly not exactly the same or a part of the group. But I think there’s a lot of things which are basically one and the same concept. And one could transfer some details into a different situation. But then maybe I fail to realize what a person without individuality is like and what amount of experience they have with leaving the standard way of living a life.)

Uh, I’m getting confused by this lengthy discussion with that many sideshows. Now I get it. You’re perfectly right with that. What happened in this case by the user is not really(*) covered by those paragraphs. This is about “Persönlichkeitsrecht” (personal/privacy rights), maybe including a sideshow with copyright. But this is way more nuanced and requires looking at the details. People have a right not to be doxxed or their secrets or private stuff being publicised. But as you said, there isn’t a general rule to prohibit sharing documents itself, without fail (like we have for audio recordings). With written text, a court needs to look at the actual content and see whether that’s protected or private in some way. Because privacy is protected in itself, and in that case it’s not about the form of a document.

Edit: And to add to this: I think §201a still applies. Someones Inbox or DMs count as a private/protected space. Now if you take screenshots from that, that’s an “other images”. And the fifth subsection says these can’t be shared with a third party.

Uh, yes. I messed up the numbers. It’s §201 for audio recordings, §201a for private pictures, §202 for documents and letters with added paragraphs for “data” and electronic data and §206 specific for communication. Idk why I wrote §203, that’s for officials and doctors as you said. I meant §202. But yeah, the translation seems pretty accurate. Thanks for the link, I didn’t know we had that available. 😊
I included §206 since that’s likely what an admin is concerned with. And we mixed that in earlier in the argument. But I believe that paragraph is just a specialized and more harsh version of §202, to increase the maximum penalty from 1 year to 5 years, if it’s your job to handle other people’s communication. Which might apply to Fediverse admins, but it’ll fall back to the other paragraph anyway.

And by the way, there are some interesting quirks baked into those paragraphs. For example the one with pictures and videos is a lot more specific than the one with audio. So we get cases where it’s okay to record a video, but it has to be without sound.

I suppose that line means llama.cpp tried to allocate another chunk of memory, roughly 2GB and that failed because there wasn’t any memory left. I’m not sure about the details, maybe it’s the KV cache and additional stuff that is required for the computation aside from the model itself? Have you tried lowering the number of layers to offload to the iGPU and see if that works? Like lowering the value to -ngl 20 might leave additional space for other important things.

I think the broader issue is, you say you’re uncomfortable saying something. And at the same time other people say the want to be addressed like that. And, now what? I mean those might all be valid concerns/feelings/whatever. But we can’t have it both ways. So what do we do to solve this? You need to find some agreement on how to address someone, or silence is the other option.

Not sure, I’ve never worked for an US mega corp. And those really don’t seem to like the law, or worker unions who start complaining and blow it up once someone gets mistreated/surveilled by their employer… Honestly, I’m not sure where we’re at, overall. I’ve read about both things happen, corporations getting sued / fined and getting away with exploiting their employees.

Have a nice one. 🍷

The internet seems to suggest it’s illegal in the UK, for example to share recorded phone calls. According to the first page of Google, recording itself is fine, while sharing or making them public isn’t. But I haven’t looked up the specifics.

Yeah, I figured we’d need to track the criminal down to a specific contry and state and then ask a lawyer to make sure. We’re super strict here. If someone uses the voice recorder app or takes a video with sound in a private conversation, that’s already a serious thing. Of course similar restrictions apply to phone calls, letters and electronic conversation.

Reading US law isn’t easy for me, I mean there’s always a lot involved and then there are laws on two or three levels plus exemptions and additional rules… I wonder if such a freedom in a one party state applies to people like whistleblowers and other unruly people as well…

Not sure where you live, and I don’t know much about US law, but for me, it’s §203 and §206 StGB. Get’s you either fined, or up to a maximum of 1 or 5 years in jail. And especially §206 is super clear and specifically mentions electronic letters. I can assure you, I’m 100% correct on that.

No. Admins can read any mail. And everyone has access to their own mail?! And I mean everyone can disclose anything in their posession. It’s just not allowed and unethical. Though in most cases you’re allowed to publish what you wrote yourself. You just may not publish other people’s secrets or info publicly.

Because that’s the Admin of lemmy.blahaj.zone. Probably doing Admin stuff like cleaning up, enforcing instance rules… Doing the instance-wide userbans. Other instances have some Automod bot for that. In this case it seems to be done from the Admin account. And that’s most of the rows in your screenshot. There is some technical shortcoming in Lemmy. And that’s why admins do it this way and it produces lots of entries instead of just one line in the modlog.

Edit: Ada explained in the previous post here, the one they discuss (half your screenshot) is an instance-ban, that automatically issues community bans

I don’t think the internet gave particularly good advice here. Sure, there are use-cases for both, and that’s why we have both approaches available. But you can’t say VMs are better than containers. They’re a different thing. They might even be worse in your case. But I mean in the end, all “simple thruths” are wrong.
